The key is always, always, always to find a way to be happy in Hi all, Ilana, as always, you write great stuff. I practice the above by saying to myself: "I want to feel better. Now, what thought feels better?" Sometimes it's focusing on something completely different and trusting the universe to help me through the crack of least resistance. I know for myself, if I haven't made significant progress toward my goal in 30 days, the only reason it's not showing up is because I have resistance. And resistance is usually pushing against something I don't want. All I have to do is acknowledge that I have some resistance and ask the Universe for help. The Universe really does know what we want - it's communicated to them every time we flow positive emotion. The Abe processes are not meant to tell the Universe what we want; they are meant to help us get in vibrational harmony with what we want. In my opinion, these processes are all about releasing resistance and changing habits of thought that no longer serve us. I currently spend about an hour a day working on my vibration through the powerful focus of writing. And I'm grateful to the Abe processes for helping me to manifest this time for me, for my most important part of my day. I have a few thoughts to add on manifesting relationships. I have an incredibly wonderful, fulfilling, fun, glorious, co-creative relationship with a man who is my lover and my friend. We met two years ago, and we're getting married in 3 weeks. I met Tom after I released my resistance to being alone, and I released some resistance to my previous boyfriend. I know we were destined to meet someday, but I don't think it would have been this soon if it hadn't been for the Abe principles, and I absolutely know our relationship wouldn't haven't become so wonderful so fast if I hadn't walked around saying "I want to feel better - now, which thought feels better" for the first 6 months. Good grief - the stuff that came up when he did my laundry for me! Things were moving way too fast for me to figure out just where my feelings of unworthiness were coming from and to try to analyze them away. I wanted to change my vibration and my habits of thought as soon as the negative emotion showed up. Sometimes if felt better to think about something else, sometimes it felt better to have a good cry, sometimes it felt better to do a focus wheel, and sometimes it felt better to go take a nap. Every situation called for different thoughts and actions. But I always, always, always got an answer whenever I asked the Universe to help me feel better when I couldn't find the thoughts on my own. For me, when I'm feeling negative emotion (focusing on something that is not true): "I want to feel better" = I want to connect to my source energy and communicate with my higher self to get in touch with my own guidance - the guidance from the Universe. and "What thought feels better?" = What can I focus on that will get me connected to my true self so I can experience this moment from my highest perspective. .... I've always liked the closed-door analogy that Abe gave some time ago. Alana, I hope you don't mind if I use you as an example. Alana, if you've been having dream manifestations, it means your lover is just around the vibrational corner. He (or She) is standing outside the door with roses and a box of candy. But if you're inside staring at the closed door and feeling anger or yearning or sadness, you're adding more locks to the door. If you can take your attention away from the door, then the universe will start opening it for you. This doesn't always mean that you have to take your attention away from your lover or the relationship you want - it means take your attention away from the resistance. However, if you can't separate the desire from the resistance, you'll feel better if you take your attention away from the desire. Once the door starts opening, you'll start seeing signs and small manifestations. The more you appreciate these, the more the door starts to open. However, if you look at the signs and they just make you more aware that you don't have the whole thing yet, then the door starts to close. And you get to start all over again, but always from a place of higher desire and clarity. We never get it done. And we're always doing it right. And remember, when he does show up, he'll bring with him a whole new set of doors of resistance for you to keep opening. For me (and as Ilana said), the joy truly is in the opening of the door. I love finding the feeling place of a vision and then watching the door start to open. Nothing is more wonderful than the flowing of the energy and the 'becoming' of something more. The universe truly does line up circumstances and events in ways beyond our imagination - if we're releasing our resistance along the way. And I believe once we get the hang of releasing resistance, it just keeps getting easier and easier and easier. I want to say one more thing about finding a pure feeling place. For me, I know I haven't made it to a pure feeling place about my desires until I can answer an honest yes to this one question: Does the feeling place that I'm in right now feel so good, so fulfilling, so satisfying and so real that I don't need this thing to show up in my physical existence? Ever. If I can answer yes to that question, then I know I'm in vibrational harmony with my desire and all I have to do is bask in this feeling place whenever I want. And... I smile to myself because now I know that it can not _not_ come. Not because I need it to come, but because I'm now a vibrational match to it, Law of Attraction must bring my vision and me together. It happened to me powerfully two years ago when I got to the feeling place of feeling fulfilled without a significant relationship in my life. I kept asking the Universe to help me release my resistance to being alone. One day I looked around and noticed that I had a wonderful group of male friends to hang out with to satisfy my social/fun needs, a handsome sex partner in town to satisfy my sexual needs, many great female friends who satisfied my intimacy needs, a male roommate who supported me in my career needs, and one male client who satisfied my security/protection needs. I looked around in gratitude and said, "I'd prefer to have all this wrapped up in one man, but God, if you need me to remain single for some higher purpose, then that's ok, because I really have everything I need." I can still remember that exact moment. I remember where I was sitting and how great it felt to acknowledge every desire that I wanted from a relationship and realize it was all around me. My soul mate vision could remain in my head and I'd see it manifest in all sorts of different people. I was in a place of pure desire, pure connection, pure love. And then I heard the universe say back to me: "you don't have to be alone" I knew I was in a different vibration. I could feel it. I wasn't just pretending anymore, I could really feel whole and complete in myself. And what a perfect place this was to start my relationship with Tom. I didn't need him to be anything or do anything. I looked at Tom and his home and his lifestyle, and thought, "wow, I'm really attracting some good stuff here." My expectations were nothing but fun and joy and feeling good. This was perfect for Tom, too because he had just given up on women, and he didn't want to be taken advantage of again. Our relationship unfolded perfectly. It is still unfolding perfectly. It is going to keep getting better - because it must. Cycles of appreciation, contentment, then some minor boredom/resistance, rockets of desire, releasing of resistance, flowing of energy, alignment and satisfaction and appreciation... and it all starts over again. This is how it works for me, and I really like it this way. Tremendous flowing of energy, with minor bouts of resistance in between. Sleeping is my main method of pivoting now. And the universe helps me out by letting the resistance show up only in the evenings. It keeps getting easier and easier to express who I really am. I can see this happening for everyone who asks, and everyone who makes the effort to connect to our source energy. Love and lots of great sex, Margie |

Re: forwarded question on creating relationship
Ilana Goldman
Dear Alana,
I want rain. My garden soil is parched and huge fissures are forming. I have a big garden wich takes a lot of time and work to water. I have created rain in the past. I know I can do it! And yet - here I stand... Your letter has sparked a wonderful discussion that really moved my own understanding forward. As long as I think of rain in order to create rain I am blocking it from coming. As long as I think of rain as a solution to some problem I am blocking it from coming. The only way I can think of it which does not block it is for the pleasure of it. So I seperated it in my mind from issue of the garden. I decided to think of the garden as if a rain was not an option, and make peace with it. As soon as I did that I was inspired to go outside and water, and I can tell you that there are some plants out there which are very grateful... :) With the issue of the garden out of the way, I no longer feel any urgency around the subject of rain. Which means that now, if I wish, I can play with the subject of rain for the fun of it. I can appreciate rain, I can remember what it feels like when it rains, I take it as far as I feel like and then drop it and let LOA take care of the rest. The key is always, always, always to find a way to be happy in the now, regardless. Leting go of the desire altogether is far more effective than thinking of it from a place of needing it in any way. Can you be happy in your life even if the lover you want will never come? As long as the answer to that is no you are still in a needy place. Never mind expectations and beliefs - they will do you no good until you get yourself to the place of being happy now! I am not saying to tell yourself it will never happen - but to tell yourself you are in no hurry for it to happen because your life, right now, is already perfect. Let it happen when it will, think about it if it gives you pure pleasure, focus on other things otherwise. --- Alana Sugar <alana.sugar@...> wrote: Dear Ilana-Ora=== __________________ E-mail content is 1999 Ilana Goldman.

Re: Ilana's post and feeling good
Ilana Goldman
Dear Queena,
Thank you for a great post. When we think of a desire it is like picking up a stick that has the desire on one end and the contrast on the other. Abe say that if as we pick up the stick we find that we are focused more on the contrast we better lay down the stick. The universe will indeed have an easier time delivering what we want to us if we never pick up that stick again, than if we keep picking it up from our awareness of the contrast. And the point is each time we pick up a stick with the intention of creating what we want, we are coming from our awareness of the contrast! It is not at all surprising that everything that you want is coming to you. Your post really boosted my commitment to be willing to put down those sticks So why bother picking up any sticks at all? Why does Abe spend so much energy teaching us to focus and to envision and to pretend? If all that mattered was the manifestations we could all do what you are doing forever more and have everything that we want manifest. But manifestations are not the main event. The main event is the joy of the journey the joy of summoning PPE toward our desires. The quality of our lives as well as our very survival depend on the following two factors how much energy are we summoning, and of the energy summoned, how much are we allowing to flow through us. The more energy we summon, the more alive we are. A major contrast gives birth to powerful desires which summon plenty of life giving energy. But personally I prefer a life with milder contrasts. So, how can I summon plenty of energy without the experience of major contrast? I focus on a desire! I pick up one of the sticks and see if I can hold it without focusing on the contrast. If I can, then I have identified a desire that I can focus on for as long as I wish, milk it for all its worth for as long as it lasts (which means until it manifests.) Or, in other words I focus on a desire for the joy of it, rather than to make something happen. And naturally, the only reason to go through the exercise is if indeed it gives me joy. Every fulfilled desire provides us with new contrasts. Focusing on the desire and imagining living with its fulfillment is an opportunity to experience some of those contrasts in our imagination rather than fully manifested. So another benefit of focusing on a desire is that it enables me to fine tune it before it manifests. I do like the idea of asking myself if I could be happy with having it or not. This is a great way to notice which end of the stick I am holding. But once I found my way to being happy regardless I can hold that particular stick in confidence. I think that what you are doing is working so well for you at this point is that you do have a desire that you are intensely and happily focused upon the desire to be joyful, the desire to master being an allower. I clearly share this desire, but it is no longer so intense because the contrast those times when I am in noticeable disconnection is getting milder and rarer. I have no major contrasts in my life today and I have made peace with most of the contrast that I still have. So the question is what next? I want to feel alive! I want passion! I want excitement! I want something to look forward to eagerly! I could get myself into a funk and create some greater contrast (done that!!) or, I could find myself a stick that feels good. How about this one? I would love some rain! Am I truly happy regardless? Not yet I am worried about my garden, I am frustrated about having to work hard to water it when I should be able to get it to rain Goody! By looking for a resistance free stick I stumbled on some resistance and now I have a chance to release it. So Ill do a focus wheel first. And then Ill see if I can think of rain for the fun if it. If I still cant, I will write it on the universe side of the mat and look for something else to focus on Or maybe Ill first go outside and water  With love and appreciation, Ilana-Ora Queena wrote: In it, the question appeared on whether one could be truly happy, Joyful, fulfilled without the fullfilment of any desires.

Re: Ilana's post and feeling good
Carla DeMarco
I'm at the point where I AM ENOUGH NOW, just me with no wants, no past, noThanks for this Queena, and Ted and Vilik. Your words start to help clear some confusion I've had regarding desire since coming across Abe's teachings. The last set of spiritual teachings I was involved in were of a Far Eastern nature. We were striving for desirelessness -- and to have no thought at all! We were continually trying to retrain our focus on thought back to mediation, breath, etc., all the time, not just while sitting. No thought, no desire. Being "in your mind" was a bad thing. Then I come across Abe's very different concepts. Different, but certainly easier, more natural, more filled with life! I said a big "yes" to them even though they didn't "fit" with what I'd been told previously. I knew that in time the gap in my understanding would be bridged. You are helping that happen.

Re: Ilana's post and feeling good
Quenna,
When I read the following notes, (I always remember that I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now - unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future." Since wanting for nothing & accepting that Everything is allowed including me. My plain old happiness is based on nothing but having the LOVE of Self and this Love is expanding exponentially to include Everything & Everyone.There is just so much Beauty here to get lost in.) I had to re read a few times to really see what you were saying as so much of what I do is see everything in my life the way I expect it to be rather than as it "is". I love living/thinking where I want to be as I seem to draw it closer to me. For a very long time, I had been caught up in what"is" and found much frustration, hurt, disarray etc in the world and people around me. Now, I stay happy and find that those in my world (immediate, day to day world includes 6 children ages 8,8, 14, 16, 18, 19 and husband) are now at a higher, happier vibration than before. The children seem to manifest everything and everybody they want in their lives without resistence. One will say I hope a get the opportunity to go somewhere, and viola they receive a phone call/email from someone they least expect to contact them who invites them off on whatever adventure they verbalized. I can tell you story after story of bringing things into my life and those around me by raising the thought to what I choose or desire ( preferences?) Individuals who consumed much of my time with unhappiness in their own world, have moved on out of my life. I very seldom have contact with them even if they had been "friends of long standing". For those "ain't it awfuls" that float my way, I now acknowledge them and send them on their way. Often when people are complaining about this or that around them, I now respond that whatever they are concerned about won't matter in 6 months, 6 years probably 6 minutes so just forget it. Now seldom do I hear all the "ain't it awfuls". Abe , as well as TCIM, CWG, Jesus and many others say that being grateful increases your field of attraction. That is where I believe you are with this, Queena. You accept and enjoy all in your current world just as Jesus blessed what was in his hands or in front of him and multiplied it many times over. Thanks for the post. Go Girl ! Lots of love, Patty |
Re: Ilana's post and feeling good
Vilik Rapheles
Life has started to Live Thru Me. The flow is constant. I want badly toshare some examples of this ease. But this post has gotten too long.~~~~~~~ Darling Queena! It is so good to hear from you. Oh please go on and on and on! Your writing so beautifully conveys the feelingtone of what you are saying. "Life has started to Live Thru Me". Last week Trixi talked about surrendering to NP and letting IB live her life. I have been thinking about this. It seems to me that Abe has a dual message. One part is connecting with ATI and IB, finding joy in the moment, and an absolute sense that all is well. The other is conscious creation. They weave in and out of each other, and are at the same time separate and distinct and one and the same. I think a lot of us start with the conscious creation theme, and somewhere along the way we happily stumble across what is actually means to feel that *all is well*, which is to be complete in the moment. Interestingly, just this evening I experienced a new level of this. I had written my last post and gone out to dinner at a favorite restaurant. I love the fisherman's stew, which is usually chock full of fish, potatoes, and other good things. But this time when it came it was just, well, soupy. And our waiter seemed to be having a hard time keeping up and kind of disappeared. I started to think a thought or two about how it wasn't what I wanted... AND I CAUGHT MYSELF! Right there, I caught myself thinking thoughts that were taking me down an unhappy road. And I changed them, right there, when they were still "embryonic" and malliable. I appreciated, I enjoyed. I thought kind thoughts about the waiter and even sent him a little Reiki. And I got SOOOOO blissful! So peacfully blissful, like I was floating in palpable PPE. When I was just about done I thought, it would be really nice to have another cup of soup, and not pay for it. So I sent that energy out in a very gentle way. When the waiter came back, I told him I liked the soup "piled high" and would like to order another cup. He said, of course, and you won't be charged. So I got bliss in the moment, and I got to create. It was so sweet. Smile smile smile! ):):):):) So this is what I'm thinking. When I get into a bad state it is often because I have been thinking thoughts that are not at all subconscious, but kind of below the surface. And by the time I realize what's happening, it already has a force in a certain direction. To gently recognize and turns those thoughts around early on seems to be the key. I think whatever anyone uses to help that happen, is wonderful. Because from that state of "all is well" we have CHOICE. I don't need the soup a certain way to be happy. I AM happy. AND I have a preference. AND I get to create it. AND AIN'T LIFE GRAND! So let's hear more from you, Sistah Queena! So very nice to know how sweet things are for you, and how much fun you're having in the EnAnon tub. I'd join you, but keeping up with my current lists keeps me on my toes. Give my love to everybody there, and don't get too waterlogged! And Juls, I did love your post to me, and the love and wisdom that so lavishly pours forth from you. I will try your ideas. They are excellent. Cookie is sitting in a drawer next to me as I write. And Flame is right her beside me on the desk. They say hi to Juls! Love to ALL! ~^^V^^~ |

Thank you! I just set up this Monday night (August 2nd), on the "calendar" feature egroups provides. This all new to me, too. Egroups sure has a lot of features to explore. Onelist has many of them too, but in a different way, and it does not have a Chat room for typing, or a way for Live Audio teleconferencing. When you set up a time on the calendar, (which for the time being at least), is available to all on subscribed to egroups, is sends the message to all that are subscribed to Egroups. My thinking is to have a regular main merry-meet on the Live Talk channel on egroups on every Saturday night at 10PM Eastern time, (7PM Pacific), and then also additional regular meeting times every Tuesday and Thursday at 8PM Eastern time. If nobody shows up for it, okay, ...at least the time is set at a regular interval. For now, I just emailed the group there to meet Monday, (tomorrow) night at 8PM also. You will have to download a plug-in for your browser even if you want to listen only. The possibility exists for a little "alignment" of everyone there, and there is bound to be confusion at first. I am hoping that there will be almost all listeners there, and that those speaking will do so in turn. Otherwise, it will "cover" the one whose turn it is to speak. It will definitely need a moderator to keep it controlled so that all can hear without interference. Enjoy the play, and be there to listen mostly, for now. The intention is to line up whatever is needed to do an online workshop from Abraham, with complete ease and clarity, for all of those seekers, at all corners of the world. That is my desire, Universe. Make it so! Love, david. |
Loneliness
Jane Petersen
Hi :)
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about the topic of "loneliness."? I know that loneliness is fear. Fear of being alone. But I never took my mind any farther than that. Can it be, that loneliness is the fear of losing all connection to G-d, InnerBeing, whatever? And so, if external actions are made to try to connect with people, and maybe all that is accomplished is distraction from that loneliness (fear) and not a real connection, IB to IB, then it can only increase the discomfort? That if we _don't_ connect IB to IB to one another, that only makes the fear and the sense of being disconnected all the more intense? That maybe in Western society it is much more the norm to NOT be connected to ANYONE else's IB? Am I making sense? I am in ABE pre-school, so please forgive me if this is too elementary a topic. light and love Jane Petersen |

Re: Ilana's post and feeling good
Juls
Hey Vilik,
What about re-writing that past association, how can you see it differently? Can you see it from another's point of view? How can you see that childhood thing in another light? Can you see it as being good in some way, that it led to something else that was magnificent? For example: I took a gig for a long term photodocumentary on a freighter a few years back, which led me getting Pasha- my first dog- they refused to train him which led to him getting hit by the car, which led to him being paralyzed, which led me to getting in to dogs and leaving my photojournalism career behind, which led me learning how to teach dogs using very gentle techniques, which led to me learning about Abe, when I really got Abe that led to Pasha dying, which led me to exploring death which I'd never had call to do before, which led to me deciding to start my own pet care business, which led me to letting Pasha go on what would have been his 3rd birthday, which led to Cordy come in to my life, which led to me getting the idea for The Farm, which will lead to me doing a billion other things. In and of themselves, many of these things just truly sucked and were horrible to go thru for me, but they ALL led to tremendously wonderful things happening and me taking a whole new and different path in my life so that I am now living with the most magnificent dog in the world and creating the most wonderful place in the world. So, can you see how all of those icky things led to something wonderful so that once you get the associations you can actually bless and be thankful for them instead of fearing their re-occurrence or re-association in your life? I can actually go back from where I am now all the way back to when I was given up for adoption when I was first born, but the above is just the short version. I think if you try it you will be amazed at how all of that old baggage is actually what your wings are made of, each a feather of a different size and colour. Play with it and see what you come up with. LOVE YA- Juls |

Dear Ilana,
I know I am in the flow of creation...I was thinking of a question to write to the list, and when I sat down and picked up my mail, you had answered it. I have been on this list since early spring, I think. The learning curve is just wonderful. And I have been up and down in that learning. But today, as I was busy doing a project (more to be revealed) I realized that the moment has come when nothing is more important than feeling good. You very well expressed me, up until now, when you said, "...it turns out that many people have other priorities such as to protect themselves from disappointments, or to experience the full spectrum of emotions, or to go with the flow..." But today I absolutely *got it* that feeling good by determining my own tone is the key, the heart, the basis, of being in my own power. Of having my own power. Of freedom, of all that I want. Yesterday I was besotten with happiness. I went to dinner with some people I am not feeling a vibrational match with because...well... just because. Maybe because I wanted to play with whether I could hold my tone. Turned out I didn't. I ended the evening in a not-good-feeling place. I watched this, did Abe techniques but didn't get right out. As you said, I at least didn't act out of that place. I was glad to hear that some version of this happens to you at times. Whew. I know that when I KNOW that I can either maintain my tone or get back to it easily, I will truly have all that I desire. Because that is a great deal of what I do desire, and it will allow in all the rest. What seems to happen now is that I get triggered back to an old place, from childhood. I used to blame situations for that reaction in myself. No more. I now take responsibility. It feels so good to do that. No one is at "fault". And I AM getting out of it much faster. The most glorious day of my life is coming, a day when I find myself in some situation that would have triggered that old reaction, and I experience myself gently choosing a new way, a way that holds my tone, that feels joyful, and I know that I DID IT! Thank you Ilana and all who have been part of my journey so far. I love you so. ~^^V^^~ |

So how do you do it Ilana-Ora?Dear Juls, First of all, it is not a continuous swing upwards for me I certainly have my down times. But I do have less an less of those, and they get shorter and less intense. I certainly have my share of contrast, but I usually do not make it into a big thing any more because I prefer the alternative to regain my sense of well being ASAP and use the contrast as a springboard forward. I have noticed lately that each contrasting experience brought me to a new level of clarity and my life got even better. To my mind, the most important key to a joyful journey is to really, really believe in a joyful journey. I am happy for everyone to choose their own path, but there is no question in my mind which path I want to be on: I want a path that feels good. I want to feel that I am in control of my journey and know that I am heading into greater and greater joy. I want to take advantage of my incredible guidance system rather than ignore it. I want to only go in my mind to those places where my IB will join me. When you ask a person what they want, they often answer I want to be happy. I have decided that the next question ought to be: how much do you want it? Because it turns out that many people have other priorities such as to protect themselves from disappointments, or to experience the full spectrum of emotions, or to go with the flow For me being happy is my highest priority, because I see everything else as dependent on that. I really, really, really want to be happy right now!! I am not willing to defer my happiness until anything around me changes. I can afford to have such a commitment to happiness because Abe have offered us such powerful tools that in my experience make the joyful path easily accessible. I am a great fan of turning Negative Declarative Statements into asking, as it is a great way to turn the energy around before it had a chance to build momentum. When I find myself in a negative place with some momentum going in that direction, I usually find that I need to focus for a few moments in order to regain my balance. It is easiest for me to focus while writing, but if that is not an option I find that talking out loud works as well. It can be a while before I have a chance to do either, and during that time I just let myself go with the flow rather than try to buck the current. At these times, when I remember to hold off actions and words, things at least do not get worse. When I do not remember to hold off, they do tend to get worse. But I know that there is no risk because as soon as I get myself together the flow will start to turn in my favor What I do when I have the time to focus is some version of a focus wheel. I sometimes start by I think what bothered me is because what I want is But the key is always to get on with finding thoughts that feel good. I have never failed to get back into a happy place while doing a focus wheel. I just make sure that I start in a place that is general enough to not have any resistance about it even where I am at the moment. For example, at a recent episode I started with: I like it when I feel good. I like it when I feel loving. I would like to find a way to be comfortable when something like this happens These few sentences turned out to be enough to change my energy then and to keep me from blowing my top the next time something like that did happen I used to have to go longer, and sometimes I still do, but it did get easier to get back to a happy place once I became used to being there. I hope you find this helpful. With Love, Ilana-Ora === __________________ E-mail content is 1999 Ilana Goldman.

Here it is...now you can plug into ATI.... with a machine. And use it to
heat your house. F'ing fantastic. He just calls it PPF instead of PPE. Can you BELIEVE it! Oh Abe oh Abe! this is so exciting! ~^^V^^~ "If you can imagine it, it's imaginable. if it's imaginable, it must be real." - Bruce DePalma, 1997 OverView The Pre-Existent Primordial Field of the Universe is a sea of 'free energy' which permeates all. It is possible to "plug in" to this Free Energy and eliminate the "need" for the continued use of fossil fuels. The equipment which does this has been proven to possess "over-unity" characteristics, ie: the power output is more than 100% of the input. It is our hope that in the near future Free Energy will enable mankind to progress from a state of dependence to one of abundance. |
Re: Ilana's post and feeling good

So how do you do it Ilana-Ora?Hi Juls: I know your question is for Ilana and I believe her answers & recent posts have been magnificent! But I've got a secret (not really) that I stumbled upon in the reality next door EnAnon. Further I think MHaffner (Equinox) has been posting about it recently & enjoyed reading his posts on illusions. Perhaps we're all saying the same things but in different ways. What I've been doing may not work for you but here goes. To be sure, I believe that the exercise in manifesting taught me one thing only, and that is, it is possible to control thoughts & therefore conditions of life. This to me signified happiness. But it then became a matter of so what? Now what? Onto the next desire fulfillment. I didn't know why then but it was definitely unfulfilling. Here's what I've learned that has made manifesting sooo easy. I stopped consiously doing it! I think I was in the right place mentally for this great book by Ken Keyes, Jr. Handbook to Higher Consciousness recommended by NetPaul. I don't so far think it goes against any Abraham principles, the book has helped me to understand the principles even better. In it, the question appeared on whether one could be truly happy, Joyful, fulfilled without the fullfilment of any desires. Can you be happy just as you are right here, right now in this very moment? Then I started to understand about Preferences. Those desires & wants that don't come with my Happiness at stake. I started viewing every desire as whether I could be happy with having it or not. Little did I know that this was building another layer of Love of the self. At first it seemed I couldn't be truly happy without any of them and had to figure out why for each one. Each one I couldn't be happy with signified a part of the self I couldn't accept, a part of me that needed healing. Until finally I reached a point where I could just groove on me, happy to be healed with nothing to look forward to and nothing to want. Before I knew it, I was(am) constantly high, constantly Blissed out on the Joy of just being Here. Every single moment has been filled with Joy, if not then what in that moment is blocking it? In the Fourth Pathway Keyes writes: "I always remember that I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now - unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or the imagined future." Since wanting for nothing & accepting that Everything is allowed including me. My plain old happiness is based on nothing but having the LOVE of Self and this Love is expanding exponentially to include Everything & Everyone.There is just so much Beauty here to get lost in. The most incredible part and the point is that my Preferences have started to Manifest WITHOUT Intent & Focus. Yeah I said it, without Intent & Focus. I feel free for I know the Universe already knows what I want better than I do. I've been blessed with so much, More time, deeper Love between my husband & I. Yes and even more money coming exactly when I need it. All The Time. Things that need to get done & I have no means of doing it, resolve themselves. People of like mind just flowing into my life out of nowhere. More Everything when I gave up the emotion packed desires of Everything! He continues with: "How soon will you realize that the only thing you don't have is the direct experience that there's nothing you need that you don't have?" Life has started to Live Thru Me. The flow is constant. I want badly to share some examples of this ease. But this post has gotten too long. The ease is in letting the me who is in touch with Everything take control while my job is for the conscious me to enjoy each moment with no thoughts of the past or the future, Just NOW. The hard part is doing what I can to get rid of fusterclucks. How? By accepting the clucks as they appear here & now & "no longer superimpose negative emotions in repairing them." I'm at the point where I AM ENOUGH NOW, just me with no wants, no past, no future. But Manifesting continues...without effort, without trying. The Universe knows what I want better than I & that in itself makes me happy. Lots of Love To Everyone, Queena |
